Their cocktails were really, really good. Well balanced. The ones I ordered were not overly sweet, which is what I requested. The staff had great recommendations and were very kind and professional. Their food was amazing as well. The bar is hidden inside of another restaurant. If you can’t find it, just ask around and everyone working in the area knows where it’s at. Make sure to have a reservation as there is not a ton of seating inside.

Sensational! What a fabulous recommendation we received from our guide, Kevin, from Pineapple Tours. This little Speakeasy is hidden away behind a wall within another restaurant, so you pretty much wouldn’t know it was there unless someone recommends it. The Asian fusion crossed with sushi is outstanding and the cocktails were great too. Wonderful atmosphere, dark and cosy with only seating for about 7 at the bar and 20 on the main floor. Make sure you try the sushi pizza you won’t be disappointed.

Cool speak easy bar in the heart of Casco Viejo!
+ the espresso martini and the Lychee Martini were both delicious
+ the shrimp california roll was very tasty. the portion is quite big (10 rolls)
+ the torched salmon nigiri was good, the salmon just melts in your mouth.
+ lovely atmosphere. They keep the curtains closed to make the speak easy experience more authentic

A true hidden gem in El Casco Viejo. The atmosphere gives off a cool speakeasy vibe, and the service is on par with a high end restaurant. While reservations aren’t always required, I’d definitely recommend one depending on the time you go. The drinks are incredibly well-crafted—so good you’ll want to keep ordering more. The food was outstanding as well; a few of us in the group enjoyed it so much we ordered seconds.

A true hidden gem in Casco Viejo.
La Bárbara is one of those places you almost want to keep secret. It’s cozy, intimate, beautifully designed — the kind of spot that feels perfect for a romantic date or a quiet dinner full of flavor and charm.
The food was absolutely delicious. The gyozas were perfectly made, full of flavor and just the right texture. Everything felt thoughtful — from the lighting to the service, to the way the space invites you to slow down and enjoy.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a beautiful little escape in the middle of the city.

Perfectly hidden gem in the old town of Panama City. We went back a second time during our Holidays. Food is amazing. Loved the sushi pizza. And also the restaurant has excellent gluten-free options.

Wow! Almost don’t want to tell anyone about this place. It’s hidden behind another restaurant. We had the sushi pizza and it was fabulous, not like anything you’ve ever had. Other items are just as wonderful as are the cocktails. 15 out of 10!
